@that_writer_girl_99 I have fired compound, recurve, and longbows before, but I’m certainly not an expert on them. If you have any questions on handheld weapons though (especially swords), I’d be happy to help.

Alright, peoples, listen up. I have questions.
One of the reasons I’ve enjoyed writing in the sci-fi genre is that you don’t have to know much about fighting styles or weapons. It’s sci-fi, and no one expects you to be realistic the entire time, so you can just…make stuff up. Which I do. A lot.

Elizabeth replied to the topic The Elements of Elemental Cliche… in the forum Fantasy 8 years, 3 months ago
You didn’t tag me either, but…no. Elemental powers aren’t cliche. Now, the way you use them can be cliche, but as for the powers themselves, they’re a great way to spice up a character.
Everyone above me has already mentioned that, and everything else on this subject, so…I’ll shut up now.

Daeus replied to the topic What to do with a blog/website ? in the forum Publishing & Platform 8 years, 3 months ago
@itisastarrynight Blogs, like social media, serve two potential purposes. 1, To promote yourself/get people on your email list. 2, To interact with readers. Actually, they also serve a third purpose of helping you get used to writing regularly.
If you really want your blog to be a major way you promote yourself, you need to blog about something…[Read more]

@perfectfifths Well, anything, but I think particularly descriptions/sentence structure. I want to make sure it flows just right and is easy to envision.

@Jenwriter17 ahhh I completely missed this before, sorry. D:
I really like everyone else’s suggestions for twists. Having the ultimate reveal of her family and mentor and all the secrets in the past being an unexpected shock really heightens things. *nodnod*
As for the blurb, it’s a good base to start off from but it’s long and gives a little…[Read more]

Hi KeePers,
Some of you may remember a while ago when I posted the first chapter of a short story of diary entries from a character in a novel who doesn’t have a name.
I’ve had the story complete for two months or so and I just finally gave it an edit, so now I’m ready to look for beta readers.
If any of you are interested, it’s a truly short…[Read more]
